Head of Partnerships
Hill.com is building the operating system to power the private markets. Founded by Andrew Benson, Hill is a marketplace for retail investors to trade pre-IPO companies. Hill is backed by HF0 and advised by the former president of Charles Schwab and Fidelity. Prior to Hill, Andrew founded River.com, a Bitcoin financial services company managing $3B in assets and backed by top venture capital firms (M13, Polychain, Craft Ventures, Slow Ventures, and Peter Thiel).
Hill is on a mission to bring the private markets to every household by 2030. We are starting with the ability to trade pre-IPO companies such as Anthropic, OpenAI, and more. The current state of pre-IPO stock trading is that transactions often take 60 days to close. We bring this down to 60 seconds.
We are forming a small team of highly talented individuals to achieve our ambitious mission.
The role
Partnerships are how we bring the private markets to every household. We will not get there one signup at a time. We get there through the fintech companies and investment platforms that already have those households as customers, running on Hill's API. This role owns that strategy.
Hill is the operating system for the private markets, and an operating system needs applications built on it. Plenty of companies want to offer their users access to pre-IPO shares. Almost none of them want to spend two years building the infrastructure themselves, and with our API they don't have to.
You own that entire motion: finding those companies, and getting them live. You stay on it through implementation, and you have the AI tooling and technical instinct to do real work on that yourself. Brokerages, wealth and investing apps, trading platforms, robo-advisors, neobanks: you take each from first conversation to production traffic.
What you'll own
- Pipeline. Identify and reach the fintechs and investment platforms whose users should have private-markets access. Qualify hard on whether a partner will actually ship.
- The technical conversation. Walk a prospective partner's engineering and product team through our API, what integrating actually requires, and what their users will see. You run this meeting yourself.
- Implementation. Own the integration to production. Write the sample code, stand up the prototype, debug the partner's failing calls, and hold the timeline. You escalate to our engineers when you hit a real platform gap.
- Growth after launch. Going live is the start. Own the relationship, drive volume, and bring the partner's roadmap requests back to us.
- Feedback to product. You hear every reason a partner stalls. Turn that into the docs, endpoints, and features that make the next integration faster.
- The function. Build the partner program from nothing: positioning, docs, onboarding path, and eventually the team.
About you
- 5+ years in platform/API partnerships, technical BD, or solutions engineering at a fintech or developer-facing company
- You've taken partners live. You can name integrations that shipped because of you, and describe what you personally built to get them there
- AI native. You use coding agents daily and they've changed what you can ship alone: you prototype the integration, generate the sample app, and write the partner's first working call yourself. This is the difference between a good candidate and the one we hire.
- You can explain a regulated financial product to an engineer and a compliance officer in the same call
- You follow up relentlessly
- You're energized by early-stage ambiguity

- Every platform you launch puts the private markets in front of an entire user base at once
- Direct line to the founder and to the engineers building what you're selling
